    I love my May calendar page. And my Mother’s Day gift!Those who know me will trulyappreciate this clock 🙂

  • Hey there, Dahlia

    A few months ago, my friend posted a beautiful picture of a Dahlia flower on Facebook. To date, I hadn’t painted a close-up lone flower – the fear of all that detail – but I have seen many artists accomplish the task beautifully and I felt up for the challenge. What could be more perfect for…

  • Pastel Paintings

    A few quick still-life studies in art class.

  • Messing Around with Watercolor

    I found this really cool picture of an old VW bug that was rusted out with beautiful colors. What a perfect image to paint. I recently bought some watercolor brushes to just play around with. It was the perfect time to pull them out.

  • The Struggle 

    How many times have I had to pause and think before dipping my paintbrush into my coffee, wine, or beer? Too many to count!

  • Card Art

    Art is all around us. All you have to do is LOOK… For the past year, my younger son has been heavily into magic and cardistry. Cardistry differs from card magic as defined below: “While card magic focuses on manipulation of playing cards for purposes of illusion, cardistry is the non-magical manipulation of playing cards with…

  • Rosie the Riveter

    Reblogged from Huffington Post Katherine Brooks Senior Arts & Culture Editor, The Huffington Post. Ahead of its Feb. 6 issue, The New Yorker released a sneak peek of its upcoming cover ― a tribute to the Women’s March that attracted over 3 million protestors around the world. Familiar at first glance, the cover features a collared-shirt-clad woman flexing her…

  • Continuous Line Drawing

    A few weeks ago I was paging through the enormous Winter catalog of our local high-end, up-scale mall: Somerset Collection. This “tome” is basically a super-charged glossy Vanity Fair magazine on steroids, with ads from Versace, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry, Gucci, etc. You get the picture; it’s our little slice of Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive or Paris’ Champs-Elysees right…

  • Year in Review and Other Random Thoughts

    Welcome to 2017 dear followers! This typing thing is a bit difficult since my operation – think back to when you actually learned how to type in middle school and your fingers and wrist muscles were sore for the first few weeks because they hadn’t been used before in that way. I can still picture my typing teacher…

  • Volkswagen Beetle

    When I was just a baby, we had a Volkswagen Beetle. It was 1970 and side-burns and “Bugs” were in fashion. Of course I don’t remember the vehicle, other than seeing it in photographs and hearing that my Dad smashed the front-end not too long after he bought it. I have the small original photograph of the two…

  • True Love

    The finishing touches have finally been applied on the large commission painting for my friends. I am very pleased with the final outcome. I’m hoping they will ♥ it! I’ll ship it in a couple of weeks – just in time for the New Year! Since it’s not a surprise, I’m sure they won’t mind…

  • Portraits, Progress & Pain

    I have been distant from WordPress and blogging for quite some time. Life has been hectic and progress has been slow. The boys are both back in school and into the swing of things, my husband has been traveling internationally for work, and I’ve been recuperating from my left elbow replacement surgery on the 19th…

  • Bane…

    I just finished this comic book style acrylic painting for my 9-year-old son who loves Bane and comic books.
